ABSTRACT:
In a wind deflector device at an automobile roof comprising a roof opening (2) closable by a sliding lid (6), a wind deflector (18) pivotally disposed along the forward edge of the roof opening and two restoring levers (23) are provided, which are each journalled at one end of the roof frame (3) and at the other end engage with the wind deflector, the wind deflector being capable of pivoting out under spring force when the sliding lid opens and capable of pivoting in by the running of components connected with the sliding lid onto the restoring levers when the sliding lid is closed. To reduce the wind noise and air flow resistance, it is provided in this wind deflector device that a pivoting out spring (27), bearing against the roof frame, shall act under prestress on each restoring lever, while the wind deflector is connected with at least one displacement spring (28), which bears with prestress against the forward roof frame, causing the wind deflector, when pivoted out, to be displaced simultaneously until its forward edge comes to bear against the forward edge of the roof opening, optionally through the intermediary of a sealing profile (46), thus avoiding a gap between the forward zone of the roof and the wind deflector. The wind deflector device is constructed for simplified assembly by snap engagement of its constituent elements.
